A new report comparing Auckland to nine other cities including Brisbane and Vancouver warns the city is lagging behind its peers when it comes to innovation.
The report was commissioned by Committee for Auckland, an independent business group in the super-city.
It finds Auckland does not have the innovative ecosystem it needs to compete with other cities around the world - such as Tel Aviv, Dublin and Copehagen.
The State of the City report, released this morning also finds Auckland falls behind its international peers on affordable housing, congestion and lower productivity.
Bryan Crump discusses the findings with Robbie Paul from Icehouse Ventures and from Deloitte's - Future of Auckland lead, Kate Sutton.
